Apache Access question

Post #1 of 4 (478 views)

Hi,

I am not sure this can be done, so I decided to ask the mailist. Is there a
way to use htaccess features, in a way that when the user logs in depending
on the user it will display a certain page. For instance if you have two
users Admin and Oper, and a user clicks a cgi that is in a access protected
directory. Is there a way, depending on who logs in Admin or Oper for the
cgi to get this information and then display a particular page based on
this.

We want to use the Apache authentication if possible, and not write our own
login scripts.

Any advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance

Your CGI script can check the REMOTE_USER environment variable and react
accordingly.

If you want to do it without a CGI script, then the directives provided by
mod_rewrite can be used to redirect based on the REMOTE_USER.
